A standing man in a dark turban with a red tilak on his forehead stands on a red stage before a large golden relief of a multi-armed deity murti with a crown and gold face. He wears a leopard-print cloth over rust-red and orange garments, a heavy gold garland with a large pendant, rudraksha bracelets and armlets, and red earrings. He holds a silver trishul trident. A tiger-skin draped cushion and carved figures flank the wall. Appearance is consistent with the Swamiji candidate with several cues (turban, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha, ceremonial gold necklace), so this is labelled probable.
